CBT

[TomReilly]

Hey, thought I'd start using the board on a regular basis to learn all I can

Thought I'd have a tell of my cbt.. It was so.. so.. Horribl- best thing I ever did, I enjoyed it so much! Went there having never rode a bike before but picked it up within minutes and loved every second. I had a major issue of looking down though and the instructor said to me at the end of the day "you can ride perfectly fine mate, but I'm passing you by the skin of your teeth because you have a nasty habit of looking down"

Was a very windy and heavy rain too that day, not a good idea for a first road ride, he was going to cancel the test at any point if it got any worse!

Did the test on a Lexmoto Street 125, lovely little bike I liked it

It's not a test.

Training then mate

[Snorty]

They almost didn't give me a CBT for, I quote, "riding like a bellend". I behaved for the rest of the CBT after that.

P.S. Don't buy a Chinese bike.

[TomReilly]

Yeah. He gave some of us the straight up sentences too, guess being told straight is the best way to learn

[TomReilly]

And.. I already got a Chinese bike last week, all I could afford

[Snorty]

Ah well, good bike to get your first crash out of the way on.

Gets me from point a to b!

[toadoftoadhal...]

some of the Chinese bikes are supposed to be pretty good. What did you get.
Did my CBT earlier this year, great day, sunny and hot, too hot perhaps in all the gear.

Tmec Enduro 125, Chinese version of the XR 125 by Honda

And with any luck he'll be able to tax it and get in on the road for a bit before Dibble turn up to recover it for its real owner, or it just falls apart.

I've did a reg test and ran it though the dvla, clean

[Quornholio]

It will be clean according to the DVLA... Until the owner gets back from his army tour of Afghan and finds out some scrote has pinched it.

[TomReilly]

Guess I will play the waiting game then eh?

[Quornholio]

I'm pulling your leg. Enjoy it.

[TomReilly]

And I'm yanking your chain

[Rogerborg]

Well, I'm squeezing your sausage.
